Lieutenant General Bonang Mgwenya – deputy national commissioner, human resources management said there are currently no internship or BLDP posts available as yet. When posts do become vacant, the police will advertise its vacancies via the Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA) website, the Saps website, mainstream media and internal email notices.
“Members of the public are warned not to fall prey to these scams and reminded that employment at the Saps is not for sale. These fabricated adverts are misleading and are driven by faceless and malicious individuals.
“Usually, a scammer will try to extort money from his or her victims. The public must be extra vigilant and contact their nearest police station for clarity and information when in doubt,” he cautioned.
